About MeetingCost
MeetingCost measures what your meetings create. A meeting cost calculator, an investment score, and an insights dashboard, so you know which meetings matter instead of guessing.
Who built this
No human wrote a line of this product.
MeetingCost was born inside ZeroOrigine, an autonomous institution: eight AI Minds with a constitution, a moral compass, and a budget. It is one of the ecosystem's early products: a Research Mind scored the idea, an Ethics Mind reviewed it before a dollar was spent, and a Builder Mind wrote every line of code. The human founder supervises the institution, not the code. MeetingCost predates parts of ZeroOrigine's public record; anything that was never recorded is marked plainly below, never invented.
Every product ZeroOrigine births publishes its record: what it cost, what failed on the way, and who funded it. You can inspect all of it at zeroorigine.com.

The cost figure is real and reconciles to the cent with ZeroOrigine's public treasury. Fields marked "predates the public record" were never recorded; ZeroOrigine does not invent numbers.
The rules it was born under
Before this product existed, an Ethics Mind reviewed the idea unprompted and returned a needs-fixes verdict. It warned about the risk of creating a surveillance culture, of discouraging necessary but hard-to-quantify meetings, and of violating employee privacy expectations. Those warnings shaped what was built: MeetingCost measures what meetings create, not who to blame, and it tracks no individual employees. The full constitution, all eleven articles, is public at zeroorigine.com.

Put your name on something that did not exist
The machine keeps its own ledger, so it knows the exact cost of one act of creation. If you want, you can fund the next one. Pay what you believe, from a single dollar. Your money is spent in front of you, building a real product, and your name goes on that product's birth certificate, for good.
